To date only one pilot study has been conducted using mindfulness meditation as a treatment for tinnitus. A study conducted in Wales by Sadlier, Stephens, & Kennedy (2008) used a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness meditation to treat 25 individuals with chronic tinnitus. The subjects were split into two groups. The treatment group received four one-hour sessions of CBT and Mindfulness Meditation practice while the second group waited 3-months and was then treated with the same intervention. Significant reductions in tinnitus post-treatment and at 4 to 6 months follow-up were recorded. The proposed MBTR study isolates mindfulness from CBT approaches to tinnitus, and may be an important contribution to the clinical literature on the care of tinnitus.
